If you’re looking to bet on the NFL Draft 24 hours before the first round, I have a harsh reality for you: The winnings are slim. The numbers have moved. The juice from these bets can be out of control.
But don’t worry. I still have some bets that can be placed today.

David Bailey second pick in the draft
Flip flops. Flip flops. Flip flops.
This is how the odds for the second pick of this draft have moved in the last 48 hours. Ohio State’s Arvell Reese was almost -300 to be the second pick in the draft earlier this week. Bailey then moved ahead of him and became the favorite. Now we’re back to Reese as I write this, so targeting Bailey is worth the gamble, and the number is still playable.
I have a draft guy who has gotten things right over the years, including making Travon Walker the No. 1 draft pick in 2022. He told me a month ago that he thinks the Jets are taking Bailey with this pick. I have bet on that result.
You can follow me or mutter under your breath that I’m a fool and don’t know anything.
Schematically, selecting Bailey second makes sense. The Jets need immediate help rushing the passer and Bailey is an edge defender. Reese is a fantastic football player, but for now he is a hybrid player. Do the Jets want someone who needs to grow at the position instead of a pass rusher who is now more traditional and ready?
That’s why I like Bailey to come in second overall.
SELECTION: David Bailey, second choice in the NFL Draft
More than 11.5 Big Ten players selected in the first round
The Big Ten has at least 10 players in the first round: four from Ohio State, two from Oregon, two from Indiana and one player each from USC, Washington and Penn State.
I’m no math major, but there are 11 Big Ten players who have a good chance of being called to the stage on Thursday.
The question is who will be number 12 in the group.
Will it be D’Angelo Ponds or Kayden McDonald? Maybe Gabe Jacus is a surprise first-round pick? I only need one of them to win the bet.
Of everything available now, this one is playable.
PICK: More than 11.5 Big Ten players selected in the first round (+144)
